Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship

S.U.R.F. projects are ten-week, intensive summer immersion research experiences for an FAU undergraduate student and faculty mentor. Each SURF award allocates $4,000 in support of each chosen project. These funds are primarily used to support to the student researcher during the summer ($3,100), with $900 for materials and supplies for the project, and for the faculty to use at their discretion.

The SURF program is open to all FAU colleges/disciplines and it is anticipated that there will be at least one SURF award per college. Either the faculty or student can initiate the team partnership, but the application must be submitted by the faculty member. OURI will offer students professional development workshops and guidance on joining professional organizations.

For more information on SURF and/or to see the timeline for the program, please visit the SURF website.
